In short: Loved itIn full: Wish the organisers had got the stinging nettles cut round the Alfriston path, had a few nasty stings on the neck. Marshals need to get their distances right, the guy at the top of seaford head said it was about a mile to the finish, a bit misleading especially for a first timer. The next marshal said the same thing.Date of review: June 21, 2007

In short: one of the bestIn full: i really enjoy this race, very tough i got bisters in old shoes the hills were like mountains the down hills were just as hard. a very well run race cannot fault anything. had shower no q's for the loos and a couple beers at the end easy parking the weather was great so spent a couple hours on the beach with the wife what more could i ask for. a pb would be nice but not on this course. well done to all those who put it on many thanks and see you next year.Date of review: June 7, 2007

In short: My first ever half. Hard work but lovely! In full: very well organised, loved the kids handing out digestive biccies on the way round! fab scenery and friendly atmosphere. I'll definitely be back next year, this time I'll get even with that hill!Date of review: June 4, 2007

In short: Tough in places but great views, lovely marshalls and a big medal at the end!In full: Very hot weather and barely any wind made for a hot race, despite slathering on suncream am quite sunburnt, and together with some steep hills this made for a challenge. A great atmosphere and friendly marshals although barely any distance markers. Also, in places the paths were very narrow and stinging nettles were very high, on both sides! Still, a great day, with good scenery and a lovely medal. Date of review: June 4, 2007

In short: A difficult one for my first half, but I enjoyed it!In full: Really really hot and the hills are very long! I did 'enjoy' it insofar as it was my first ever half, and I prefer XC. But it was so hard! Managed just under 2.5hrs so I was happy. The scenery is ace and it seemed well organised - lots of drink stops which was great, and the marshalls were all really friendly and encouraging. I'm so glad I did it as I feel like I achieved something! Though I'm sure almost any other half would allow me to beat that time!Date of review: June 4, 2007

In short: SurperbIn full: Can I just say congrats to the organisers. My first time running this year, and although a tough race, definately one worth doing for the scenary, let alone the training. Roll on next year!Date of review: June 4, 2007

In short: hard work, beautiful courseIn full: Really shows up lack of training! Needed walk breaks today, esp given the heat, but great course and really friendly marshalls. Loved the sign one had saying "all uphill from here" at 11 or so miles (tho not stricly true). Date of review: June 3, 2007
